lucio pizzeria

the best!. amazing food, great service & fantastic location.

bestpizzain sydney!!

pizzas had way too much moisture in the toppings, my best guess is their using frozen cheese straight onto the pizza. i don't understand how one of the bestpizzaplaces around could be this bad, anyone that likes this is delusional but maybe it was a bad night. i'm a chef btw

lucio is the closest to italianpizzayou can get in sydney. the sauce, crust and base are exceptional, their service is even better. we were treated like royalty on a weekday, i’m not sure if the experience is the same on a weekend. i ordered for the bufalina, it was good size for one person.

you have to be joking!. i have just had the worstpizzain my entire 48 years of life. thepizzawas undercooked, the tomato base was a raw sludge and the toppings were at best thrown on to the base by someone who obviously had no care in what they were doing. the finished result was a soggy, oily mess.

what on earth have all of the previous reviews been thinking? have they been paid by the owners of this joint to write glowing reviews? i have just had what is barely passable as apizzaand paid over $20 for the privilege! how this place scores such a high rating by critics is a mystery. lucio's however portrays themselves as traditional napolese pizzeria and take it from one that has some idea as to what that is, lucio's simply does not pass muster. avoid the place assiduously for there are many other venues in sydney that will make apizzathat is far more worthy of your spend.

nice napoli style pizza.. worth an eat. my fiance and i are always on the hunt for the bestpizzain sydney, and had heard so many glowing reviews for lucio pizzeria, that we had to come down and try! i was more than excited when i saw that they served 'pizza donuts' (not the real name, but what i have nicknamed the panzerotti type item), as i had been trying to find these ever since i saw them on a documentary about italy!! they were served with arancini and croquettes, and were quite delish... the arancini and croquettes were nothing spectacular. though i was seeking the bestpizzain sydney, and was saving myself for what was to come... we ordered the lucio special, half calzone/half margherita, and the diavola. i must say i was a little underwhelmed with the lucio special. the calzone was really wet and sloppy, with too much ricotta, so this was not too enjoyable... very disappointment! the margherita was not too bad, still slightly wet for my liking, but the diavola was just right. good amount of spice in the meat, and perfect crust with air pockets that made it light and fluffy. service was friendly and with a smile. overall, 7/10. calzone let the experience down!

absolutely hands down the bestpizzain sydney. i've eaten at all the cult places and lucios is far better. the prices are really fair too.

restaurant 2nd visit lucio pizzeria. 7/10 oh wow, this was disappointing. last week i came here they wow-ed me. so i came back but the same lucio pizza... had thin layer, not so chewy, and it was salllltyyyy... the side dishes were good though, we got the calamari and the rocket salad. i am gonna try going again next week... hoping the lucio i ate last week would come back...

restaurant lucio pizzeria. 9/10 darlinghurst oh my gosh. didnt expect it to be this good!!! the crust is not too thin and crispy, dont really like that type, but it is, as my friend said, was truly napoli style!! very chewy and tasty we loved it!! onepizzais good to share among two ppl, and maybe another dish from anti pasti or salad with it. we had the lucio, which was half margarita, half ham calzone which was truly scrumptious. the place got busy after 7pm so better go before that if u wanna be sure. its next to the famous vietnamese place, phamish. i must add that the service was great too. the waiters were all really lovely! seriously, i really want to go there again tomorrow. thats how good it was ;)

an italian friend took me here, telling me this place has the bestpizzahe has had since coming to sydney. he was not wrong! i absolute love pizza, tried many different places, and this is definitely my favourite. we got the tartufata, bufalina and another which i can't remember the name of, but they were all amazing, though my favourite was the tartufata. drizzle yourpizzawith the chilli oil provided if you want some spice.

the pizzas came out really quickly, and it's a nice and quiet space with indoor and ourdoor seating.

got the calamari, prosciutto wrapped figs, radicchio salad, and mushroom/anchovy/ham/olive/mozzarella pizza. thepizzacrust ws amazing bt the amt of toppings made the middle of thepizzaa little wet. calamari ws my fave~ cute lil brick oven the in back.

being a student in sydney can have its toll, especially on the weekends. but when it came to this pizzeria i was exceptionally glad to splurge my savings. arrived here in the most italian car possible (fiat 500), so obviously the need for authenticity was high.

ordered the bufalinapizzaand truth be told i have never hadpizzathis good. the crust, the cheese and finally the sauce were in one word; perfection. would highly reccomend this place and have been recommending this place for a pretty long time to anyone travelling to sydney.

amazing service when you eat in, and food comes out fresh. highly recommended for a nice evening out. don't order takeaway, food didnt seem the same last night and mypizzawas cold.

the calzone we had was so yummy. burrata was decent. a pity the anchovies/olivepizzawas too salty for us.. food is served really really fast! :)

my partner and i came here when mardi gras was on so it wasn't so busy. we ordered the verdurin pizza, calamari fritti and tiramisu for dessert. thepizzaitself was very light and crispy, however, it needed a little more salt to accentuate the flavours better. the chilli oil went very well with the pizza. the calamari fritti was amazing and was very light and fresh. would have liked a bigger serving but it was enough to satisfy us. the main star of the night was definitely the tiramisu. it was the perfect balance of sweet, creamy and bitter. definitely would come back for that. the staff were super friendly and the location was hidden away in a less busy part of the city.  it was a very pleasant experience. would go here again!

quite a small pizzeria tucked away from the busy parts of darlinghurst that offers mostly outdoor seating. quite cosy with some great friendly staff who are very enthusiastic when they tell you the daily specials. as a mainly pizzeria, we ordered two pizzas, both came out speedy and looking well topped and delicious. my partner is a big fan of the thin crusted pizzas, says he can eat more without getting full from crust. i really do like thin crusted pizzas and thispizzais super thin! it does get a bit soggy from sauce and easily breaks apart in the middle. but thepizzaitself is not overly greasy, packed with flavor and satisfying.

after reading all the hype here i decided to order apizzafrom them but to my dismay it turned out to be one of the worst pizzas i ever had.it hardly had any ingredients in it.it was not worth even $5..never again.
